I'd say Rural, like just outside the suburb we live in now. 10 minutes away from everything we need, but far enough out for the country life.

Rural! We'd love to move to middle of nowhere Alaska some day
-
Rural/small town with a city less than an hour away.

I voted city but for me it's with a twist: I can't deal with apartment living. Portland has been great at fulfilling the best of both worlds for me because it's an awesome city but we also have a big yard with grass and a garden. I lived in NYC for 15 years and I loved it but I would have been unhappy doing so with kids unless we could figure out a way to afford place with a yard and eventually a small cottage. I also love trick or treating and being a short easy drive from the woods and farms. I know people who love raising their kids in the city though. My sister is doing so so hopefully it will go well for her.

City. I love where I live.

If I had limitless money I'd live in the city. I like having a car, being able to park it, having a large living space, and a yard to play in. But I'd also love walkable neighborhoods with shopping and restaurants and parks.
But we don't have unlimited money, so we live in the suburbs.
-
In a perfect world, it would be mid-sized city, mainly for the walkability aspect. But like pp said, I would need a yard and a good amount of living space.

It seems like a lot of us want that sweet spot between a nice, walkable city, single family homes with yards, and entertainment/ enrichment opportunities. Why can't there be more U.S. cities like this??

@MrsRcCar: ditto! I've always lived in a suburb of a big city. Best of both worlds.
-
I've been in the city for 13 years now. I'm tired of multi-unit living and bad neighbors. Even without kids, I'd have to find a reasonable home in my neighborhood which wouldn't happen, so burbs still desirable.
-
I like the space we can afford in the suburbs. If I could plant my property downtown, I'd take it!
-
A nice old farmhouse with a lot of land, but within 20 minutes to the beach!

We live in Chicago like some others on this thread and love it! But we live in a neighborhood that has a very residential feel with lots of stuff to walk to and green areas. I'd never want to live right downtown. However we'll never be able to afford a single family home with a yard in the city, so we'll probably be heading to the suburbs in a couple of years.
I'd love a second home in a rural area to be able to have a place to visit!
